    [1.2] Real Solar System v12.0 Dec 8

    You will need the mass of the planet in question, in kg (M) and the time it takes to rotate once on it's axis, in seconds (T) [this would be 86400s for Earth]. The formula will give you the radius of orbit from the centre of the planet, in metres (for altitude, you will need to subtract the radius of the planet from the answer).

    r^3 = 1.69E-12 (MT^2)

    Orbit needs to be equatorial and the same sense of rotation as the planet and, of course, circular.

    For Earth, this calculates out as 42 301 km. The radius of the earth is 6400km so the altitude would be 35 901 km above the surface of the planet.

    Yes. This is under Remote Tech Squad Probes

    I don't have a problem connecting when I add an antenna to the stayputnik. I have a big problem if I don't do that. I even moved the track station so it is exactly on my launch pad but still no connection unless I add an antenna to the stayputnik. KSC should easily have the range to connect to the omnidirectional (even before I moved the tracking station to the launch pad) so why will it not connect?

    The connection is green when attached to the launch clamp but not otherwise. The stayputnik has an omnidirectional antenna, always on, built into it.

    I suppose the obvious answer to this is the omnidirectional antenna in the stayputnik is actually non operational. That would explain everything. It actually says in the parts menu:

    Technology Perk

    Integrated Omni: 3 km (pretty sure this is a typo and it means 3 Mm)

    always on

    I guess this is not working.....

    I tried doing this by changing the Remote Tech Settings to the coordinates of the current launch site. They are now precisely on top of each other and I still have no connection with the omnidirectional antenna in the stayputnik probe. Is there something else I should do to make the connection?

    I am now starting to think that the included Omni in the stayputnik for RT2 is actually non operational. This would explain everything.

    Is there an issue with where the Tracking Station is? When using RT2, I appear to be out of range of the tracking station when on the launch pad. My stayputnik cannot make a connection unless I fit another antenna on it. Is this known about? If so could someone direct me to the discussion.

    Is there a fix other than attaching another antenna?

    I am very new at this but your mod seems awesome. Trying to use Realism Overhaul with all associated mods. I am trying to build the most basic rocket right at the beginning of the RPL tech tree. This would be a stayputnik on top of a stretchy tank with kerelox and an A4 engine. The stayputnik has an omnidirectional receiver. On the launch clamp I am getting a connected signal but as soon as the launch clamp releases I get a no connection signal.

    What do I have to do to get a connection? Without it, I cant deploy parachutes etc.

    I am certain that I am doing something wrong that is really basic, so can a patient person help me out?

    EDIT: Apparently tracking station is out of range of the probe in RSS, even just after launch, so an additional RT antenna is needed.

    I am certain that I am doing something really basic to screw this up. SRB works fine BTW. I also have Remote Tech 2. Could it be something to do with the no connection signal I get from RT which appears as soon as the clamp is released?

    No spin on the rocket at launch. No problem with ignition on the launch clamp. It will burn forever on the clamp. I watched the temp rise (on the clamp) to about 700C.

    On clamp release it lasts for about 1.5s then the engine shuts off. Fuel flow is Very Stable, even over the 1.5s before shutdown.

    Firstly, thanks for this great mod. Super realistic. I'm very new to this mod and struggling to learn the science.

    I am having real beginners problems so I'm hoping someone can advise me. I have Realism Overhaul, Real Fuels, Race for the Stars pack, FAR and Engineer (I think they are the relevant ones). I have a really simple rocket with a stayputnik and a small stretchy tank and an A4 engine. The tank is filled with the recommended proportions of Kerelox.

    When attached to the launch clamp, it ignites and burns. I usually let it burn for a few seconds and then release the clamp. About 1s after I release the clamp the engine turns off, the rocket gets to about 30 m. Why is this happening and what can I do to correct it?

    I tried looking for information earlier in the thread but to no avail. Thanks.

    EDIT: Tried using thrust limiter on the engine but still shuts off the engine after maybe a second.

    I have just installed this but I don't seem to be getting a list of resources to add to the tank. I'm using RO and stretchy tanks and all mods associated with RO.

    I'm probably doing something stupid. Can someone help me out?

    EDIT: I may have screwed this up by trying to edit tanks in the VAB and not trying to use the Action group editor. Apologies for the bandwidth wastage.

    This looks like a great mod so I installed all the recommended mods and I'm ready to go. Only problem is, where do I get fuel for liquid fuel tanks?

    Is this something to do with the tech tree (RPL)?

    I'm sure this is totally obvious for most of you but if someone could help me out I'd be very grateful. Just a link to the correct thread would be fine. As it is, I'm not sure if this is a result of RPL or real fuels or RO.....

    Do these resources, perhaps, appear at a later tech level or something? Maybe I'm restricted to solid fuel at Tech 0......

    I tried mousing over the stretchy tank and pressing g in order to change fuel but nothing happened. Texture changing and stretching works fine.......

    Thanks in advance

    EDIT: Looks like I need to sort out fuels in the Action Group Editor and not directly in the VAB. Apologies.
